Fender Fans
Gibson of Fender?
Disagree? Hey, go start your own guitar lens :)
I love Fenders for their beautiful shape, sharp tone and balance.
My beloved strat is pictured above. It has a serial number starting with '0' and was one of the first off the Mexican production line during the 1980's. It has a stinging, yet sweet tone, something I haven't found in later day strats, irrespective of where they're made. I've had a ton of offers to buy it over the years. Needless to say, the answer is always the same....
